After saying that, Liang Xiaofen stood up, full of vigor and vitality, and walked to the door. At the moment of opening the door, she paused and looked back at Yang Zheng.
He warned fiercely: "From now on, the Yang family is the Yang family, the Liang family is the Liang family, you live in the south of the city, and we live in the west of the city. There is no need for us to meet again in this life."
Yang Zheng stared blankly at her as she opened the door and walked away, his face completely bewildered, not realizing what was happening.
After sitting there for a while, he stood up, paid the bill and left.
When he returned to the house, he just saw his wife running over and shouting that her eldest daughter had committed suicide by jumping into the lake.
Without even thinking, he slapped his wife to the ground, pointing at her and yelling, "Idiot! Vicious woman!"
The lady was scolded for no apparent reason and didn't dare to say anything. She just covered her face and cried.
Before Yang Zheng returned to the study, he told Chang Sui: "Take the young lady out and bury her."
After that, he said nothing more, went into the study, closed the doors and windows, and disappeared.
He knew in his heart that his official career had come to an end and there was no place for him in the court anymore, so he picked up his pen and wrote a letter of resignation.
The request was approved three days later, and Yang Zheng became a free and easy wanderer from then on.
Shen Feiyan was determined to come to the capital, and finally persuaded her husband, a scholar, to come. After asking around, she went to the Anguo Mansion and saw such a large and magnificent mansion. She was so envious.
She told the doorman that she was the niece of the Duke's wife and insisted on getting in.
The doorman is no pushover. How dare he let anyone in without the lady telling him that there would be guests?
When Shen Feiyan heard that she was not allowed to enter, she immediately flew into a rage, put her hands on her hips, spitted everywhere, and angrily scolded the doorman. Her behavior was no different from that of a shrew on the street.
Nan Ba and Ye Tingyu happened to see this scene when they came back. Ye Tingyu shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Why did this guy chase him all the way to the capital? He is so annoying."
"Who is she?"
Nan Ba didn't know Shen Feiyan, so he thought this woman was very bold, shouting in front of the door of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
"My uncle's daughter, a hypocritical woman who only knows how to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. I've already told you that our family has cut off all ties with her, but she still keeps coming to me. She's really shameless.
If we take her in this time, the next time we will definitely have everyone from the Shen family. When our family was raided, the Shen family just stood by and watched from afar, not even sending us a piece of vegetable leaf. They are worse than the people in Liang County City. "
Nan Ba strode over and waved his hand behind him. Two guards came and said, "Drag this woman away. How dare she make trouble in front of the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion?"
When Shen Feiyan saw that Nan Ba was well-dressed, she knew that he was an official, otherwise where would the guards come from?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to argue, he was pulled up and thrown out by someone. He turned around and saw Ye Tingyu and shouted for help.
"Yu'er! I'm your cousin! Save me, don't let anyone drive me away."
Ye Tingyu signaled the two men to put Shen Feiyan down, and walked up to her: "Are you my cousin? I remember my mother told me that she had cut off contact with the Shen family. May I ask where my cousin came from?"
Shen Feiyan was furious, she didn't see that Ye Tingyu came with Nan Ba and thought they didn't know each other.
Turning to Nan Ba for help: "Sir! Please believe me, I am really the niece of the Duke's wife, I didn't lie to you. My name is Shen Feiyan, and I almost married the Zhenbei General Ye Tingxiao.
Don’t think that Ye Tingyu is the legitimate daughter of the Duke’s Mansion. In fact, she is just raised by a concubine. Don’t be fooled by her. "
Ye Tingyu ignored what Shen Feiyan said, and ordered the doorman: "Go and call mother, she has to take care of this matter."
The doorman did not dare to delay and ran in to report to the butler Wang Wanli.
He didn't dare to delay and reported it to Chen Xiangxiu immediately.
After listening, Chen Xiangxiu looked at Xu and sighed: "Chen Feiyan will never stop."
Xu supported Chen Xiangxiu and said, "Madam, go out and deal with it! There's no point in making a fuss any further."
Shen Feiyan's scholar husband looked at her making a fuss and felt ashamed, so he hid away quietly.
He was really fed up with this kind of woman. She could not live in peace anywhere. If he passed the imperial examination next year and got his name on the list of successful candidates, with such a shrew around, how could he expect peace in his inner house?
The Anguo Mansion did not seem to intend to support her. As long as this was confirmed, he would no longer be afraid of this woman.
Chen Xiangxiu came out and saw Chen Feiyan, and asked coldly: "What are you arguing about? Didn't we make it clear when we were in Liangjun City? There is no need for you, Chen Feiyan, to meet again, so why did you come to my house? Are you looking at me and saying something that won't work?"
"Aunt!" Shen Feiyan struggled to crawl over and knelt in front of Shen Xiangxiu, crying, "Niece knows she was wrong, aunt! Please forgive me! I came to the capital just to seek refuge with you."
"Really? Then you've made a wrong calculation. Just as you rejected me back then, I will reject you now." Chen Xiangxiu sneered, "When my aunt was brought to the capital in poverty, did you come to my house like you do today?
No way! Seeing that your uncle got promoted, you want to curry favor with him again? Shen Feiyan! I have seen people without conscience, but I have never seen anyone as heartless as you.
Fortunately, you refused back then, otherwise where would my son find someone as good as my daughter Wanwan?
Get lost! You should know what you have done. The relationship between us ended the day you rejected me."
After saying that, she turned and left, and invited Ye Tingyu and Nan Ba to go in together, leaving Shen Feiyan alone still kneeling on the ground.
Her scholar husband came out from his hiding place, pulled Chen Xiangxiu up and dragged her away.
The two men found an inn to stay in. As soon as they entered the room and closed the door, the scholar became furious and started punching and kicking Chen Xiangxiu.
"Bitch! You actually tricked me into coming to the capital. From tomorrow, you must start embroidering to support your family, or I will beat you three times a day. Because of you, my child was killed alive.
It turns out that you are nothing in the eyes of the Ye family. You are just a bitch who will not obey unless you are beaten. Let me tell you, this is the capital, not Liangjun City. If you want to run away, there is no way. All the household registration money is in my hands. "
Shen Feiyan just opened her mouth to cry and curse, but before she could cry or curse, she was slapped by the scholar and dared not say a word.
"You'd better shut up and do what I say, or I'll spank you five times a day. If you dare to cry and anyone finds out, I'll spank you five more times."
Chen Xiangxiu didn't dare to say anything. Originally, they brought maids and servants with them when they came to the capital.
In order to make herself look more miserable and win Chen Xiangxiu's sympathy, she sold her carriage and maids and servants so that Chen Xiangxiu would feel distressed when seeing her plight.
But she was so self-defeating that Chen Xiangxiu had no intention of recognizing her and didn't care whether she lived or died. Now that she was in the hands of the scholar, would she still have a good life in the future?
She was once a pampered young lady, but now she has to rely on embroidery to make a living. What hope is there for her to live?
The scholar hated her so much that she couldn't enter her aunt's house and was trapped in this inn all day long, which was worse than death.
But she was afraid of death, so she had no choice but to start embroidering to earn money to support herself and the scholar.
The scholar never passed the imperial examination and became depressed. He died a few years later.
Shen Feiyan stayed alone in the capital, still making a living by embroidering. (End of this chapter)
